We’re supporting creatives like you to connect with who and what you need. We’re gonna feature local talent needing some know-how to get them to the next level. Let’s look out for each other. Keep dropping in to see who can help you.
We’ll be talking to a new creative every week. This week we’re chatting with Emily, a small business owner & Coventry University Graduate. If you wanna work with Racheal, or get involved with a project drop them a message @emjohnsonart07.
So, tell us about yourself
I’m Emily-Jane Johnson. I’m 25 years old and from Coventry. I studied Fine Art at Coventry University. In school I wasn’t very academic and was told by a teacher I’d never make it to uni but I’m really proud I overcame it and now I run a small fine arts business and work as a store manager at an opticians.
What is something you think Coventry needs?
In my opinion, Coventry needs more networking and exposure. It’s supposed to be the city of culture but I know loads of amazing artists in the city and none of them have been approached for any opportunities in the city.
25 year old Emily owns a small arts business.
What can the community do for you?
I’m currently just building up my client base as there’s no infrastructure in place to help you to start a business after leaving uni. I am looking for brand ambassadors and maybe social media managers to help build my page.
What can you do for the community?
I would love to teach people art, as I help share ideas sometimes with the Saturday Arts Club in the city. Maybe do some consulting for arts clubs and youth clubs around arts.
